K-factor (Cisco)

In Cisco Voice over IP deployments, the K-Factor is a Cisco proprietary method of reporting endpoint mean opinion scores.[1] K-factor records contain the following metrics:

K-factor metrics
FieldDisplayDescription
CCRCum Conceal RatioCumulative Conceal Ratio represents the cumulative ratio of concealment time over speech time that is observed after starting a call
ICRInterval Conceal RatioInterval Conceal Ratio represents an interval-based average concealment rate that is the ratio of concealment time over speech time for the last 3 seconds of active speech
ICRmxMax Conceal RatioInterval Conceal Ratio Max represents the maximum concealment ratio that is observed during the call
CSConceal SecsConceal Secs represents the time during which some concealment is observed during a call
SCSSeverely Conceal SecsSeverely Conceal Secs represents the time during which a significant amount of concealment is observed
MLQKMOS LQKMOS Listening Quality K-factor provides an estimate of the MOS score of the last 8 seconds of speech on the reception signal path
MLQKmnMin MOS LQKMOS Listening Quality K-factor Min represents the minimum score that is observed since the beginning of a call and represents the worst sounding 8-second interval
MLQKmxMax MOS LQKMOS Listening Quality K-factor Max represents the maximum score that is observed since the beginning of a call and represents the best sounding 8-second interval
MLQKavAvg MOS LQKMOS Listening Quality K-factor Avg represents the running average of scores that are observed since the beginning of a call
